Bangor Welcomes The Beach Men

BANGOR, Maine — Though a torrential downpour earlier in the evening threatened a wet concert, the atmosphere was all sunshine, bikinis and, yes, good vibrations as The Beach Boys made their Bangor stop on their 50th anniversary tour. Mercifully, the weather turned sunny and breezy, and an audience boasting both original Beach Boys fans and hip 20-somethings responded with loud, excited cheers. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks delighted the crowd with a nearly three-hour show, packed with nonstop hits and high energy. The stage was set with surfboards and a video screen projecting images of big waves, big cars and big fun. Everything from “Surfin’ USA” to “Little Honda,” “I Get Around” to “Be True To Your School” was played, to thunderous applause.
